Foam management

The Principles of Wetting

Rheology modification

Surface control

Resin Minimal Pigment Concentrates (RMPC concept)

Many undesired film characteristics may occur during the production and application of paint systems.

Foam increases production time, makes it more difficult to fill vessels with the correct amount of paints, and contributes to surface defects such as craters and weak points in the dried film.Differences and changes in the surface tensions of the liquid paint, substrate and contaminants will cause surface defects, such as orange peel, fish eyes, pinholes and craters, etc.

How the viscosity recovers (and removal of the shearing force will directly influence the film properties, such as leveling, gloss, sag, etc.

In this part, we provide our knowledge and experience to optimize your production and application, improve surface coverage with better wetting, speed your processes with less foam and avoid surface defects with leveling agents.
